| Every year thousands of teenagers and remaining Holocaust survivors from around the world come together in Poland to revisit the sites of the Holocaust and retrace the Death March from Auschwitz to Birkenau in a journey of remembrance.
Filmed in Brazil, Germany, Poland, Israel and the US, the feature documentary MARCH OF THE LIVING tells the moving story of the survivors’ hope of passing down their history and memory of the Holocaust to the next generation. Academy Award-nominated and Sundance-winning filmmaker Jessica Sandersfollows survivors and teens from Sao Paulo, Los Angeles, and Berlin on an emotional journey as they confront the enormity of the past in Poland, culminating with the possibility of hope in a visit to Israel on its 60th anniversary. A contemporary and unique look at the Holocaust, the film features striking cinematography of the concentration camps today as well as images and artifacts never seen before.
